of my conversation with Joan Ruvinsky, on the 'radical joy' of finding out that she has terminal cancer; on her experience of her teacher, Jean Klein, towards the end of his life; and many more things.

This excerpt is from the very end of the conversation. It has a special message of Love to all of us and is filled with radiance. Enjoy!

I held you in my arms 
as you passed from this world
but you never passed
and you were never of this world.
 
I never for one moment 
felt the loss of your presence, 
for I never felt the loss of my own.
Yet only one presence remains.
 
One.
 
I held you in my arms 
as you passed from this world
but you never passed
and you were never of this world.
